“My work is actually really messy, disguised by the overall look of controlled chaos,” says florist Josephine Lau, co-owner of Daughters by Floral Magic in Singapore. She forgot to mention that it’s also totally charming.
Spotted via Lilreddotfolks, Lau and partner Lucy Siah recently moved their family-run business (with their sisters in law) to a light-filled shop in central Singapore, a major upgrade from their previous space “in a basement of a dingy mall with sweaty gaming shops and seedy karaoke bars.” For the whole story, see Lilreddotfolks.
